Simulation, fabrication, and characterization of 3-D alumina photonic bandgap structures
05 September 2001
Three-dimensional photonic bandgap (PBG) structures using alumina as the high-permittivity material Were designed and then fabricated by using the fused deposition of multimaterials (FDMM) process. The finite-element and real-time electromagnetic modeling of the fabricated structure resulted in a 3-D photonic bandgap in the 16-24 GHz range, which agreed with experimental measurements.
